Fisheries Minister Diane Lebouthillier ’s office said the decision was made after listening to feedback from stakeholders.

The federal government closed the commercial baby eel fishery on March 11 after violence and intimidation plagued the last two seasons .

Under the proposal, 27 per cent of the total Maritime catch of about 10,000 kilograms would have shifted to 120 people who had been working for the licensees.

A further 1.5 per cent would go to 30 harvesters of adult eels.
